fuck off

Thing is, I'm liking the direction games workshop is going at the moment, I actually believe sisters may be coming back with this coming out.

>>52327659

Yay! We're getting plastic Sisters. We only had to wait for 40K to become shit, what a great day, so happy.

Give some structure to the system

Currently it is far too open ended, spheres should require more specialization to open their juiciest talents

>>52327603
Definitely a superior read. Kudos.

>>52327530
Is it a game yet?

First for stop making threads so goddamn early the oldest isn't even at the bump limit yet

So AoS is coming to 40K by the sounds of things.

Optimistic about I changes.

Well, the whole purpose of the Space Marine Battles series is to turn codex footnotes into actual stories (YMMV on success).

They seem more tied to existing stuff at present, but they've never shied away from inventing things. Eisenhorn, Gaunt's, all that jazz. ADB is working on some Emperor's Spears stuff, and Robbie Macniven is writing some new White Scars material for his next book, so plenty of new ship on the way, too.

>>52327382
To be honest, while I said it was particularly bad in that regard I didn't mind. The Hollow Worlds presented in the book were far more interesting a setting than the one described in the codex. One of the very few cases where I think Black Library retconned something for the better. So it's not a complaint in this case like I said, just a note.

How are the Red Corsair bits? I have a soft spot in my heart for the Tyrant of Badab

Variant chess played at the chess club.

Where you had shit like "Giraffes" and "Elephants" and stuff, who were usually combinations of two other pieces (IE moveset of a rook OR a knight) or some variation on a knight (IE it moves 4 spaces then 1 to the side; or 3 then 2; etc. instead of 2 then 1)

>>52328351
Oh, and "Knightrider" who was like a knight, except it could jump multiple times in one turn (in one direction only) until it captures a piece.

>>52326616
Do you catan?

But in all seriousness, chessboxing. It's a real thing, and it's actually kind of fun.

A.

B. "Pokemon evolutions" packs are still in stores. Just go buy some.
C. As a general rule with Pokemon cards, if you have to ask, they're worthless. You would already know if you had one of the extremely few cards worth anything.

The fact that you're a moron, perhaps?

Strength potion are not steroids, sperglord, and if you were able to actually think you'd realize that.

Strength potions work immediately. Steroids do not.

Potions work automatically and regardless of the character's other actions. Steroids do not work automatically and only help you build muscle mass through exercise. Drink the potion and you're stronger. Inject steroids, but fail to exercise, and your strength remains the same.

The results of potions are usually not permanent. Once the potion wears off, you lose the benefit. The results of steroids can be permanent if you continue to perform the exercises.

TL;DR - You're a fucking idiot and you should be ashamed to have posted that question.

>>52326115
Steroids don't simply make you stronger. They make your body repair faster so you can grow muscle faster at a higher training tempo with less down time.

Someone who takes steroids and doesn't train won't put on a lot of muscle. They will lean out a lot, but training is most definitely necessary.

T. Steroid using /fit guy

Yes.

We still hate these fuckers.

I don't really hate Kender, I hate the kind of players who like to play Kender. They're a means for That Guy to rob people blind while insisting "That's what my character would do!" and "I'm still Neutral Good guys, that's just how Kender act!". Their lore indicates that if you act all doe-eyed and innocent nobody will begrudge you for being a total asshole and, say, taking the fighter's healing potions and throwing them in the river because you wanted to know what it would sound like. Their lore isn't all that worse than, say, your homebrewed Kitsune monstrosity but it just encourages players to be assholes.

If you want to play a Kender in a game you should make it clear to the other players and the GM that you're not going to steal ANYTHING. Don't play any classes like Rogue or Bard, stick to something like Fighter or Paladin if you can. I'd recommend playing something like a wandering ex-soldier, traveling the countryside and doing odd jobs to help people. Something that embodies the wanderlust and curiosity of your race while keeping your hands away from other people's packs. Playing an honourable and chivalrous Kender who wouldn't even touch something without the owner's permission... that would probably be the best way to go.

>>52324752
They're awful. It's like one of the game devs let their 10 year old make a race after watching the animated Hobbit movie and corrected it grammatically and it got shipped without any checking or revision. They have no redeeming factors that can't immediately be thwarted by other aspects and fail in comparison to comparable things.

Most of terra is reletively secure but if a large enough force launches a full on attack larger than what Horus did in the Heresy than it would be very save. But with Magneus breaking the psychich barrier before the heresy to warn his father, deamon's have found themseles constantly pouring through the emperors experimental web way gate. The combined effort of the emperor's will on the throne and the custodes eternal fighting they have been held to the webway for now.

>>52320614
If you read Master of Mankind, the Mechanicus fixed the tear in the webway while the Sisters of Silence and Custodes fought off the deamons

>>52320554
As secure as the plot allows it to be.

monstergirl survival 1/9

Legend of the Wulin, but that requires
1) Rewriting all the lore sheets to fit the setting and refluffing everything you didn't rewrite
2) Learning LotW in the first place and convincing your players to do the same.

#1 is tedious, #2 is madness.

Would Legends of the Wulin be able to handle the combination of technological integration and superhuman ability inherent in Post Human Martial Arts
What I know of the game is gathered from what little I have heard here on /tg/

>>52318487

LotW would likely require abstracting it and making it mostly fluff, using loresheets and similar- Packages of fluff and mechanics that can be purchased alongside more conventional things like Kung fu techniques- to represent them.

Also, >>52318302 put it in short but to be explicit-

LotW is a hard game to learn. It makes a lot of strange assumptions about how things work, counterintuitive to a lot of what you'd expect from a RPG (A simple example is that in LotW you roll first, declare actions second, the inverse of almost every RPG I'm aware of).

This is made even more of a barrier to entry by the frankly appalling editing and layout of the core book. If you can actually get the damn thing running, it's a magnificent system that I've personally used for sci-fi action stuff before now, but actually getting to that point is a lot of effort.

In the last thread it was suggested than instead of using a count-up system (which could lead to maths headaches) that each individual attack simply be a countdown to 0 without the need to have a global tick to keep track of how long combat has progressed. To me this seemed like a genius suggestion but can any of you see an issue with this? I feel like I'm overlooking some fatal flaw.

Also, to be clear I have already examined a number of other systems in detail so I'd rather you didn't just point me to Exalted/Scion or whatever. I've already looked at Hackmaster, Aces and Eights, Shadowrun, Savage Worlds, Runequest, and Feng Shui to get this idea cobbled together.

>>52315858
I've played Hackmaster a lot, and I really like the count-up system. Helps ameliorate the interminable "waiting-for-my-next-turn" delay.
